While casually surfing the Internet today I stumbled upon an interesting article on neurogenesis (a process where nervous tissue is created) and how our behavior throughout life can affect the rate and amount at which our nervous tissue is produced.

The article is titled Lobes of Steel and is by Gretchen Reynolds.

Left of Zen, a personal development blog, has recently posted an article titled 20 Super Brain Foods. It's a worthwhile read if you're into nutrition, want to find an easy way towards improving certain skills on the job, or are just interested in improving your brain's abilities in general.

How Our Brains Improve With Age

Happy new year everyone! Hard to believe we're now living in the year 2008. Y2K? Sooo 8 years ago.
